The AGM of the Carrigaline Camogie Club was held in the Carrigaline GAA Pavilion on Monday 3rd December last. Tom Kiely opened the meeting before a large attendance and a very busy year was reported at both Senior B and under age level.
At Senior level there was much praise for the management skills of Pat Moran and the team trainers Adrian O’Meara and John Middleton, which led to Carrigaline winning its first championship matches at Senior level, although failing by a whisker, to qualify for a semi-final slot!
Whilst at U16 level Marie Scully led a team to Donegal for a weekend to play in the Pan Celtic competition, where they won the B section and were runners up in the A section in March. For some members it was a case of going back to their roots in the Donegal Gaeltacht! Two U16 teams were entered in competition and the U16 B team, trained by Tom Jones, won the championship by beating Killeagh in the final. It was noted that this was the best under 16 team that the club has produced and there are a number of potential senior players there.
Nine teams in all were entered in under age competition.
Marie Moran captained Carrigdhoun in the final of the inter-divisional blitz, which we narrowly lost.
Two teams were also entered at U14 level, one at B and one at C level and both narrowly missed out on qualification for the knock out stages.
